WFWI Centenary Year Celebrations - 2018

We have lots of things planned for you to enjoy during our Centenary year as you can see below. Make sure that you put all the dates in your diary now and look out for more details as they become available. You can download a copy of the planner for yourself here. We also have various items for sale to commemorate our Centenary. Click on the thumbnails for a larger photo. Send in your photographs of your WI celebrating our centenary and we will add it to our Centenary Year Photo page.

WFWI CENTENARY LOGO JUTE BAG

As seen at the Annual Council Meeting. The Jute bag is white in colour and measures 35x40x15cm. For extra comfort it has luxury long handles and is printed with our Centenary logo on both sides, the cost is only £4. The order form is with your secretary or you can get a copy from our Downloads page.

Jute Bag Travel Challenge: Public Affairs Chairman Sheena has sent this photograph in of herself with the WI Centenary bag. Unfortunately it didn't quite get to the southernmost point of New Zealand as the long dirt road was closed! So the challenge is on to see if members will send in pictures of places they've been with their bags!

OPENING DOORS - THE CENTENARY BOOK
Opening Doors is the title of the new Centenary book. The book celebrates the 40 years of WI in Worcestershire which have passed since the Diamond Jubilee. It will be launched at the Spring Meeting on 30 April, 2018. This A5 volume of 320 pages, with about 600, mainly coloured, illustrations, tells WFWI’s story since 1980 to its Centenary Year. The activities of all the facets of the Federation, including the Board, Advisers, Sub-committees, Ad hoc committees, Holidays and Groups, make up the first section. The second section features all our WIs, a page from each, written in their own individual way.

Together they show the diversity, achievements and inventiveness of our organisation. If you are a long-standing member then this is partly memory lane, if you are a new member you will be amazed at what your fellow members have done. If you do not know how the Federation works then you can find this here too.

If you pre-order the book by 1 February it will cost £7.50, after that date it will cost £8.00. The order form is with your secretary or you can get a copy from our Downloads page.

CENTENARY TEA TOWEL
We are pleased to announce the arrival of our centenary tea towel. It is a bright, colourful design set on good quality cotton and is a bargain at only £3. You can purchase the tea towel from WI House, Three Counties show and the Annual Council meeting- be warned we have a limited number, so don’t delay!

CENTENARY MUGS
The last few remaining will now be sold on a first come first served basis.

CENTENARY WINE
Our Centenary wine is now ready!! This lovely white wine was launched at our Annual Council Meeting this year. It was produced from the Phoenix grape. The grapes were grown at Rosebank Vineyard, Fernhill Heath by Richard Tomkinson; some members went along late last year to pick the harvest, ready for it to be sent on to Halfpenny Green Vineyard for production and bottling. Price per bottle is £9.00 but if you buy 6 bottles the price is £51.00 (£8.50 per bottle).
